PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST12LP00 is a high-power and high-gain power
amplifier based on the highly reliable InGaP/GaAs
HBT technology. SST12LP00 is easily configured for
high-power and high-efficiency applications while
operating over the 2.4- 2.5 GHz frequency band. This
device typically provides 30 dB gain with better than
50% power added efficiency @ P
out
= 23 dBm.
The SST12LP00’s excellent linearity is well suited for
Class 1 Bluetooth operation. The power amplifier IC
also features easy board-level usage along with high
speed power up/down control. A low reference current
makes SST12LP00 ideal for the final stage power
amplification in battery-powered Bluetooth, USB Don-
gle, or cordless phone transmitter applications.
The SST12LP00 is offered in both 6-contact VQFN
and UQFN packages. See Figure 2 for pin assign-
ments and Table 1 for pin descriptions.
